Long-distance track event

Powell, Ben Johnson, and Marion Jones are examples of these elite athletes that have had championships and medals rescinded due to their use of PEDs, such as steroids and EPO (OPV, 2014). One pressure behind the athletes’ use of these drugs within track and field was the thought it was necessary to dope in order to compete at a higher level, similar to many other sports. In an interview, one athlete felt there was pressure to perform, along with pressure to always be improving oneself with…

country and track and field. This experience made me more confident and made me feel that with hard work, that I can achieve my goals. My expertise in track was sprinting. I enjoyed participating in the short runs. In order to help out my team, I was asked to run the distance event. I was not happy about it but I did it to help the team win. I was told that after the season, I would go back to being a sprinter. That was far from the truth. Running the distance race had become my only event and…

The sun had secreted behind piles of looming clouds, while droplets of water dispensed from the sky. The track bore a vast expanse of puddles, and runners plunged their way through them. I was sitting in the dewy grass underneath the canopy of our tent. Rain trickled down the stadium steps as I heard the booming announcer eagerly bellow, “Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 2016 State Track and Field Meet.” My heart began to beat like a hammer pounding upon a solid bed of concrete. However, I…

It was going to be my last year of track in High school and I was ready to make it count. The first thing on my mind was to make a bigger track team since the year before the track team only consisted of five people. I started asking people if they were interested in doing track, but everybody would say no. Until I asked one of my friends and they said yes that they would do it. I felt accomplished as soon as that one person said yes, and the total number of people we got on the team was roughly…

practice I absolutely hated it because in all honesty I hated running, at least for long distances. Then we started to get more involved and choose our individual events, That was when I found my love for sprinting and throwing. I had always been a “fast” runner but I couldn't do it for long periods of time so when I heard about sprinting I figured that it may work for me, and it did. At first the practices the were long and tiring but as the season progressed I became far more used to them and…

Italy Dear Mr. Erwin, Ciao, I am Thomas Aquinas and I am extremely interested and wish to apply for the tenure-track coaching position that is currently available at Rogers State University. I would be a great asset for this particular position because of my many accomplishments and outlooks that would lead the Hillcat team to success. Firstly, I have recently made quite a long distance move to Claremore, Oklahoma from Athens, Greece a few months ago, which is one reason why I would be able…

country, cross country skiing, and track. In skiing it is imperative that one has good stamina. This is necessary because similar to cross country running, skiing is a five kilometer race. These races are against the best of the best high school athletes in the state, therefore being a runner is almost a must. In track things are a little bit different. An athlete can choose to do a more anaerobic event such as the 100, or they can choose an event such as the mile. My event of choice is the 800…

be everyday computer used for basic needs while others are hardcore computers used for gaming but at the end of the day they are still just computers. It was around the time I joined the track team that I noticed how stereotypical I was. I thought that the best sprinter would be black and the best longest distance would be white etc. It was nothing like that. It was the complete the opposite. That when it dawn on me that race and the stereotypes that follow behind them are bullshit at times. On…

movement and is activated when an individual looks at a person doing physical things. Therefore, based on adults’ perception on emotions in simulations, infants too can also see other people’s facial expressions at a distance of approximately 30 centimeters, which is exactly the same distance between a nursing baby and their mother. Unlike adults, infants imitate actions more than is necessary, even when it is not clear that the action is desirable. Basic Visual Function and Visual Attention…
